Default went to the track!

Well last time was my first track experience and i must say it was a blast.Only got 2 runs in
first run 15.02 @ 90.72 mph with a 2.20 60' time
second run 15.00 @90.79 with a 2.21 60' time
I was pretty pleased since this was my first time at the track and my car is pretty close to stock(mods in sig). And now i think i caught the mod bug, wat would be some other stuff i could do? i was thinking some suspension stuff maybe some nitrous [8D] any kind of input would be great!

with some sticky tires you'll run 14.70's to 14'80's no problem!!

My wife has about the same mods on her vert. She ran about what you did. Finally managed a 14.80. w/ about the same 60' time as you.Then I put a set of slicks on it and she ran a 14.32. w/ a 1.9 60'. Get some sticky tires and knock a 1/2 second off your time
